Okay, apparently Dustin had a black dog that he said he named the "n" word and that he said didn't like black people, and he and Amber had a good laugh about it.

This makes me sick to my stomach and I am surprised not to see more people commenting on that.

There has been much more focus on Dick's alleged hatred towards women, which may or may not be true, but, in any case, pales considerably to this despicable conversation between Dustin and Amber. That's really ugly. Why is no one commenting on this?

I hadn't heard about it til now. Dustin is despicable for doing that. Making light of something as painful as racism is to the black community is cruel, but when you belong to a minority that discriminated against yourself, you should know better!

Doing that kind of thing on the on the internet LF just adds to it.....it's bad enough to be racist in your own home, but to share such an insensitive attitude with the entire world and actually think it's funny.....well that is just SO wrong on SO many levels.

I have to say that I think it is a rather sad commentary that people are getting so offended about the "rank p*ssy" comment, which is disgusting, but are ignoring this, which is worse. I was just aware of it today, and maybe others are unaware also, but the with the number of live feed watchers out there, I would think it would have been picked up by now.

It was overnight Friday night. It was glossed over and rationalized/excused in the house happenings thread (surprise, surprise). Bet there'd have been 3+ threads if Dick said it.

Actually I remember a big discussion about this in the House Happenings thread, mostly negative about Amber and Dustin's comments.

Minor correction. He said his dog didn't like black people.

And yeah, if this thread goes the way of the other discussion, it's not long for this board.

you can start reading about it here

Yes, most were negative about it, but it was definitely rationalized quite vehemently and dropped ... not another word after that night while they go on and on and on about other stuff.

What minor correction, Kswheels? He apparently calls his dog the "N" word and says she doesn't like black people.

Oh really...........this is quite interesting.

Now I am really glad his behind is going over Kail.
This was not ignored on my part,as an African American I would of course notice this.I do not have the feeds only Showtime and I watch that on Fri and Sat.I will try to find this on the Friday House Happenings, thanks for the heads up.

I also will not label Dustin as a racist for using that word, because so many in the African American community use it themselves.

justification and rationalization

Hermoine - The way I read the original post, it said Dustin didn't like black people, as opposed to the dog. Maybe I misread.

Maybe most of the 'big discussion' was deleted cuz what I just read wasn't a big discussion. And the fact that it was discussed about dogs actually only seeing in black and white shows to me that the point was totally dismissed.

Ladytex, where did this quote come from:

"I also will not label Dustin as a racist for using that word, because so many in the African American community use it themselves."

Knowing the context and who said it helps me understand the intent behind it.

Ooooh, I can see how you thought that now that I have reread my post, but I was meaning the dog and not Dustin. Thanks, Kswheels.

I went to the archive that Ladytex posted and it doesn't seem like it was discussed very long.

I don't even know what to say. I don't post that often, but when I do, it's pretty evident that Dick is the one who has offended me the most. Until this. I can't wrap my mind around someone thinking that conversation is funny or okay or rationalizing it on any level.

not only is he saying his dog is prejudice, but comparing black people to dogs?

i don't know why, but this just wants to make me cry.

OK, I do remember a much longer discussion so I think it did get quite heated and I guess problematic. I know it wasn't glossed over.

Most of the discussion was removed and the CHH thread was locked for a bit.

No problem Hermione

i don't see how a discussion on this could become problematic. are you telling me people made excuses for this? i cannot believe anyone would think this was nothing but appalling.
